Somewhere and Valentino join forces for a Ramadan majlis

Immerse yourself in a culinary and couture spectacle.

Ramadan pop-ups are all the rage in the UAE. With exciting additions like Miu Miu x Kulture House, Montblanc x Ninive and Saddle x Sephora, the country is abuzz with celebration. And now, a new collaboration between Somewhere and Valentino is set to take Dubai by storm. 

Taking place until 6 April, you can make your way to Somewhere in Galleria Mall, and enjoy the spirit of the season with your nearest and dearest. The restaurant, known for its strong sense of community and fusion of global and Middle-Eastern cuisines, has crafted an exclusive menu inspired by the Holy Month. Plus, Valentino has transformed the venue, offering an immersive dining experience. 

As you step inside, you’ll be greeted with Somewhere’s signature decor, complemented by apricot tones. Valentino branding adorns the surroundings, with chess boards placed across the venue and golden kettles to serve tea and hot beverages to guests.

The ambience at Somewhere is set by the melodious tunes of Kanoun and Oud players, while live calligraphy and fashion illustration experiences add an extra layer of sophistication to this pop-up.

But this isn’t just any pop-up – there’s a purpose behind all that glamour. Valentino introduces Valentino In The Light, a Middle East Exclusive Capsule collection for Ramadan. The collection features garments and Valentino Garavani accessories that perfectly encapsulate the essence of the Holy month. Think soft tones of powder and rose gold, intertwined with the brand’s iconic patterns.

This is not the first Valentino pop-up in the UAE. Earlier this year, the fashion house partnered with the Matcha in Dubai for a padel pop-up and Atlantis The Royal for a cosy cafe. The fashion house is also running a Ramadan pop-up in the capital at the only Michelin-starred Emirati restaurant in the world, Erth.
